Number (Named Data Type)

Used to store a numeric value (with a decimal point or an integer). It can also contain a text string.

Common Properties

Number properties

Property	Template XML	Description
Settings	[E] Settings
Symbol	[A] STRING Symbol	Formatted text to be used for input and output in the format Symbol = Value [Unit]
Unit type	[A] ENUM UnitType	Unit type (e. g. Length)
Unit description     (Unit type Undefined)	[A] STRING UnitNameMetric     [A] STRING UnitNameImperial	Unit description (separately Metric and Imperial) - used according to the current Unit System when entering and outputting in the format Symbol = Value [Unit]
Unit definition     (other unit types)	[A] STRING UnitDefMetric     [A] STRING UnitDefImperial	Definition of the unit with respect to its Unit type (separately Metric and Imperial) (e.g. for the Length type it can be m, cm, mm, ft, ...) - see Units
Počet desetinných míst	[A] INT DecimalDigitsMetric     [A] INT DecimalDigitsImperial	The number of decimal places, if Exponent, then the number of valid digits is the number of decimal places increased by one (separately Metric and Imperial).
Exponent	[A] BOOL ExponentMetric     [A] BOOL ExponentImperial	The exponential format number eg 1.234E + 06 is used (separately Metric and Imperial).
Allow string input	[A] BOOL AllowString	Alternative text can be entered instead of number, e. g. (not entered)
Empty text	[A] STRING EmptyText	Text to use if the user does not enter his own

• When data entering and output the format Symbol = Value [Unit] is used according to the current unit system
• If the unit type is other than Undefined, values are recalculated when changing the unit system

Example of the Template XML

<Settings UnitType="Undefined" UnitNameMetric="sss" UnitNameImperial="ss2" DecimalDigitsMetric="3" ExponentMetric="false" DecimalDigitsImperial="3" ExponentImperial="false" />

<Settings UnitType="1/ΔTemp" UnitDefMetric="DegCelsius" UnitDefImperial="DegCelsius" DecimalDigitsMetric="3" ExponentMetric="false" DecimalDigitsImperial="3" ExponentImperial="false" />

<Settings UnitType="Force*Length/Angle/Length" UnitDefMetric="kN|m|rad|m" UnitDefImperial="kip|in|rad|in" DecimalDigitsMetric="3" ExponentMetric="false" DecimalDigitsImperial="3" ExponentImperial="false" />

Example of the Data XML

<Item ID="{DC2B5705-A262-40B8-B91D-0BF3B7D8B80C}" DblValue="1,000" Unit="Undefined_sss" />

<Item ID="{6776BF97-1490-4A2B-A1E7-46B4A40ACD8D}" DblValue="1,000" Unit="1/ΔTemp_DegCelsius" />

<Item ID="{E99E7D72-DA4D-47CE-AAE2-823F6B2D5C81}" DblValue="1,000" Unit="Force_kN*Length_m/Angle_rad/Length_m" />

ID can be either a GUID or a unique text identifier.
